You can only share for an hour per session, but you can have unlimited sessions. This has been talked about to death, and its because they want to prevent users from abusing it to get free games.

I doubt it would work very well. The data sent from your PS4 is not sent to Sony and THEN sent to your friend (that would be crazy slow), instead its sent directly to your friend. This means unless you have MASSIVE bandwidth (in the up direction) to send to 3 other PS4s , then you wont get a very good play…

This would be nice to know. I am assuming (hoping?) that it would be like the Netflix "Are you still watching?" prompt, disabling the game on the remote end until the "local" player says yes.

You can see it in the screenshot, and Sony made it clear during presentations. For sharing your game, there is a 1 hour limit per session, but you can have an unlimited number of sessions. This prevents you from sharing a game with your friend, and him playing it for 40 hours and finishing everything, without buying…

I agree. The thing is, this is just piggy backing on the technology behind remote play. The future of streaming games is going to be in caching and predicting. IIRC Microsoft was working on some prediction streaming something recently.

This is not true. The Vita user is stored on the memory card, a quick change in the system settings, with your friends memory card instead of yours, and the Vita becomes "locked" to him. A quick change back and its "locked" to you. No data lost.

Its partially a childish knee jerk reaction: "Fine, you don't like some things with A?, well you wont get any A at all.". Its also partially because Microsoft does not have the mature technology to stream games like this, where as Sony does through its Gaikai acquisition. Microsoft is very cloud focused though and…

I keep reading this, and its not true. Online play is still free for Free to Play games (F2P), and for subscription based games (P2P), just not for the classic buy to play (B2P) model. Of all the games I play online on my PS3 and PS4, other than Plants vs Zombies, they are all in the F2P and P2P model, thus are…

I tried playing it during their recent free week (I loved the original) , but the game is just bleh. It looks and plays like a generic MMO with a Guild Wars coat of paint (and not even good paint). I got about 30 mins into the game and that's as much as I could stand. There are so many other games that are much…

Its mostly a situation of people not understanding the bandwidth requirements. To use it over Wifi, you must have both an upload and download speed that meets the minimum requirements. For example if the Bandwidth requirements are 10 mbps, then you are going to need that (at least) on your upload as well. Given that…

I never said that it was impossible, only that its not nearly equivelent, and even the games that "do" support the controller, very often either do not do it correctly (see the difference between just mapping the mouse axis to an analog stick and actually utilizing the inertial input that is an analog stick), and very…

I have hundreds of PC games, and outside of Indie action games or FPS, very few of them actually support the controller.

The fact that they put it on last gen consoles makes it an easy pass for me. I love borderlands but not enough to support last gen .

The Vita's remote play, while an amazing feat of technology, suffers from the fact that the Vita does not have an R2 or L2, requiring you to instead use the very sensative and unruly touch pad to access those buttons, which makes it a non starter for any game for me for any game that makes decent use of R2 and L2 (and…

I enjoyed Mystic Quest back when it came out. Sure it lost its appeal quickly, but for someone jonesing for a new console JRPG back then, we didn't have much to choose from!

Everytime I see games like this, I am reminded of the mini-series called Five Hours till Midnight where a cop/detective finds a brief case outlining a murder, with all the evidence, suspects, etc..., only the victim is himself, and the murder hasn't happened yet. Its a low budget mini-series, but its pretty…

Just because we have abused the term hacking in the last decade, and thus watered it down, does not mean that its original meaning does not apply to this situation, which I would say clearly does and is a better compliment then engineering. Engineering implies that you built it from the ground up, hacking implies…

I am not interested in DLC that is separate stand-alone content that does not allow me to play with my existing story character. So as much as I enjoyed Watch_Dogs, I wont be getting this, just like I didn't get the Second Son DLC, or the Festival of Blood DLC, and so on...

Are they all wired? No thanks.

Not quite, since I still have an odd Sega game here or there on my PS3, but I do miss my Dreamcast.
